A 30-year-old man was arrested after police say he threatened a woman with a stick outside an Allamuchy Township bank and demanded cash she had withdrawn from an ATM.

Ryan Whipple, of the first block of Asbury Road in Independence Township, made his first appearance Tuesday in New Jersey Superior Court in Belvidere to answer to six charges, including robbery and aggravated assault.

Authorities say the woman, Robin Ivaseczko, was inside her car in the drive-up lane at Bank of America the afternoon of May 16 when Whipple approached the vehicle and threatened her with a wooden stick.

Wearing a hooded sweatshirt and scarf over his face, Whipple demanded Ivaseczko give him the money she had withdrawn from the ATM moments earlier, according to the criminal complaint.

The victim complied, police said, and Whipple allegedly made off with $200. Ivaseczko was not harmed in the robbery, according to police.

Detectives identified Whipple as a suspect during the investigation, police said today.

Authorities charged Whipple on Monday with robbery, theft, aggravated assault and making terroristic threats. He also faces one count each of possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

Whipple was released without bail pending future court appearances, according to records.
